To answer the number of angry comments: FYI everyone in Buffalo - This video was a part of a series on rundown rust belt towns, which your city qualifies as. This was not a 'Buffalo is great let's see why' video, nor was it an 'Everything about Buffalo' documentary. There are plenty of those on the web already. So don't be so upset. Your city has come challenges, like most American cities. And it has some bad surrounding communities.

So theres a number of reasons this Video is complete Bullshit . You drive a stretch of land less than a one mile and portray the entire area like it's so rundown. I love the Ghetto comments, Too bad that area is predominantly Polish and Irish. It's quite funny how canadians act like Toronto doesnt have rundown areas.

I think the real question here is why would a person make a video like this about any city. Why showcase what you believe to be negative? Why spend your time degrading anything? This negativity seems so pointless to me. Some of the buildings shown are actually people's homes. I can't imagine how I'd feel had I seen my house in this pointless video. There is just no reason to showcase anything so negatively. I have lived in and around Buffalo my entire life, and though it isn't perfect I am completely in love with it. This may make me bias, so I am not going to even bother to tell you about how wonderful its architecture, culture, natural beauty, industry or its people are. The point I'd like to make is why bother searching out what you see as terrible? What is the purpose other than to cause pain. You are not even criticizing in any constructive way. This is not productive and is more a testament to the creator's character than ti the worth of any city in the "series of rust belt towns".

Blizzards do not shut the city down regularly. That's an absurd comment to make.

6:52 actually the houses were leveled because it was cheaper for the city to destroy them than to try and repair them and they were unsalvageable due to being so old. At one point there were 10,000 abandoned homes in buffalo. I worked at city hall as an intern when they began the undertaking to reduce the number from 10,000 back in 2007-2009

The video admits that Buffalo's population dropped from nearly 600,000 to 250,000 (in 2020). That's a lot of empty houses that will never be filled no matter how well someone fixes them up. There simply is no one to move into them. A city that once housed 600,000 now only needs less than half of that. There are many, many empty houses that have no hope of ever being restored. Demolition is the only option. Many areas are bare as a prairie. Look at Buffalo on Google maps satellite view. The vacant lots stand out like missing teeth.

Anyone else here from inside edition?

I came to Buffalo as a college student and fell in love with the city. I've seen one blizzard, maybe two in the decades I've lived here. There are real snowstorms that dump more snow than the blizzards did, but they're very unusual as well. The primary thing Buffalo is known for is the friendliness and genuine helpfulness of its citizens. There's a saying that you can't go anywhere here without bumping into someone you know, and the cities here are twice the size of the ones in the New England state where I grew up. We just get to know one another. This area is also one of the best places to raise a family, Yes there are bad places here just as there are anywhere, but the good far outways the bad any day of the week.

I'm a Canadian that used to visit Western NY, before the pandemic and I love it! The people are so friendly 😊

It happened to me again in another part of Buffalo and again! they helped me and I was able to get home to my daughter. Buffalo is not perfect, but it's not bad either, we had a mayor that's willing to put his attention on ALL of Buffalo, instead of just "certain," neighborhood's, this city can be a great city once again.

Buffalo is a tough city and not for everyone. This dude in the video would not make it out here because he is not the type of man to command respect.

Buffalo, NY also has some nice and historic areas. The city is deep in rich history but like most aging regions in the Northeast USA has seen a decline in population and business commerce. You should note that the downtown and waterfront areas have seen a resurgence with development of new businesses and people are moving back to the city which is a trend happening in the states. I know you mentioned having chicken wings at Gabriel’s Gate Restaurant, Buffalo is one of the best foodie towns in America with not only its well known chicken wings but roast beef on kimmelweck roll, buffalo pizza, various ethnic restaurants serving Polish, German and Italian dishes. The Buffalo area loves their hometown sports teams like the Bills and Sabre’s. The Summer’s in Buffalo are the best time to visit the shores of Lake Erie and Niagara River. There are much more nicer areas and neighborhoods to see and visit than what this video showed.

Quite frankly, this tour showed relatively decent real estate reasonably well maintained. There were some abandonment but not overwhelming in nature. There were cars parked at homes and along the streets. Note the absence of graffiti, burned out houses and garbage piled up on street corners. In short, it seems livable and viable. Compare this to videos of rides through Detroit and Gary if you want to see a decayed, dying city.

The worst neighborhoods back then was Chippewa and Pearl street, which is nice now. They are converting old factories to nice apartments.

My wife an I went to Niagara Falls 4 years ago and were so impressed we went back again last year , We found a 2 lane road that was south of Buffalo that went to Erie and both thought it was the most scenic road either one of us had ever seen , We plan on going back to see more of this beautiful part of the country , Much love from Colorado

It would be a change in content I'd really like to see that!

I live in Buffalo and have been born and raised and hands down thanks to no change and a mayor that only takes care of south buffalo residence and those that pay into his war chest. Take a look at how south buffalo namesakes are employed through city hall, police, fire, and shame the east, west, riverside are horrible. What we have is the marina? and other parts downtown close to bars mayor brown takes care of. Glad there are young women to run against him now. Avoid buffalo there are no jobs unless you want to get drunk on Chippewa or get wings there's nothing here. City of good neighbors ha city riddled with crime, murders every other day and go unsolved. ✊🏾

You went through what I call the urban prairie of Buffalo. The bad parts are the Fruit Belt(streets named after fruit), Kenfield-Langfield(two massive housing projects that are right next to each other), Schiller Park(my neighborhood, home to new immigrants and...gangs), University District & University Heights(the latter is a crime den despite being next to North Buffalo), and an unofficial, unnamed neighborhood that is at the intersection of several official neighborhoods near Buffalo State College(Bird Ave is the "hottest" place in this area). Never ask White people where the crime is in Buffalo because they rarely have to leave their neighborhoods for any reason. Black, Latino, and other ethnicities usually have to shop and work elsewhere because of the lack of businesses and food deserts so we get a broader view of the area. A lot of the poor areas in Buffalo are relatively peaceful because they only have value to the residents. Buffalo is very resistant to change and this video is a good show of what our lack of progress means. Most of us live in very old housing and our neighborhoods are missing many amenities that make them walkable. I hope that the people seeing this understand that many of the people living in Buffalo want it to improve but development isn't in our hands. Suburban residents and people from further afield are holding onto Buffalo's assets, waiting for some sort of shift so they can sell to the highest bidder. Also, it's worth noting that Buffalo has a metric ton of absentee slum lords, from places like San Francisco or even Middle Eastern states. It takes a long time to get derelict properties away from people who don't take care of them and so we're still in a kind of stasis here. When the new hospitals were being built downtown there was a prediction that the real estate market would explode and it did...in the areas near said hospitals. Why improve the whole city when traffic is only picking up in a small area?

Honestly, I have no intention to return to the suburbs. Part of it might be because I like seeing the improvements around here on a seemingly daily basis. I feel like the way the city government is running the show, it's almost like they're willing to go piece by piece, or neighborhood by neighborhood in this case. I just wish they'd go faster.

Planning to move back in a few weeks.. after living in Lubbock Texas I appreciate Buffalo so much now. It has gotten even better after covid. I visited in Aug last year there were flowers everywhere and more restaurants. They are building more apartments and new houses. Most of these houses may look old but they are sturdy houses. I think Buffalo will become the next big city after NYC. So many people moved out of NYC to other parts of NY--- Buffalo is the underdog. Lived in the ghetto parts and nice parts for 10 years went to college there.. they have good job opportunities too. You can get a nice house and not have to spend your entire life paying a mortgage. And its close to Canada and Pennsylvania and Ohio and NYC. Niagara Falls is 30 min drive. I think it does need some reconstruction but again Buffalo is one of the oldest cities in the U.S. Ofcourse it will look old too. Far better than other cities in the U.S that no one knows about.

Ted's does have the best hot dogs!

I was born in Lackawanna. I thought this video showed tidy, well kept neighborhoods. We all left for work in other cities but what I saw on this clip was what looked like home. Budget might be tight but pride in ownership & tidy pretty homes

I have a feeling we have opposing views on certain issues but that’s okay because I really like your videos and your witty humor.

If you and people love it so much, why does it look like a 3rd world country. btw, I'm from there, so you don't need to school me, just in case you thought you were going to.

In skimming through your channel and older videos, I see a lot of stereotyping. Tours of what makes cities great and what made them rise and fall would be good.

Hi Nick, I love your videos and the music you add to them when you're just cruising through these neighborhoods, it's very relaxing. Great info, too. Thanks for keeping us informed!
